NEW RESIDENT

I drove into my Grove this morning after an "expedition" into the local countryside and found this Guy/Lady walking across the road without looking left or right. There's not a lot of cover around, plus there's a busy lane not 50 yards away so I was a bit worried it might come to harm. I've introduced it to my garden and after a few minutes it ambled off into the borders to explore. Once in my garden it won't be able to get out as all fences are secure and all gates are solid and the bottom edges are less than half an inch off the ground which in all cases is concrete. There are already two of these in my garden and they're doing nicely as there is plenty space and insects etc for food. The two cats totally ignored it after a quick smell and then basically moved out of it's way when it went exploring.

 

"Amble" it is, loli

 

Well, I see the other two about once a week when they come out of the borders or scurrying along the borders. They all have the same habit......scurrying along for a couple of feet and then standing still for a couple of minutes. Both of the others are older and bigger. Christening them is a good idea and the names are great......but how do I mark them to know who's who!!??

 

Errrr, you've got me there, Pete........they've got spines not shells????

 

Thanks anyway, Pete
